Abstract
Card feeding apparatus for feeding the lowermost card from a stack of cards to an off-set station from which the card is fed to a processing station. A feed roller driven by a drive roller is rotated about the periphery of the drive roller and into engagement with the lowermost card by operation of an actuating member, the feed roller feeding the card to a stationary position in the off-set station. Upon release of the actuating member, the drive roller, acting against the stationary card, rotates the feed roller to a disengaged position, the feed roller holding the card in the stationary position during such return movement.
